I rarely listen to music.
The radio is on when I'm in the car, sure, but that is mostly so I won't miss any thing John Tesh says. Normally, I am perfectly content to drive in silence. I've made extended car trips alone with no music. I am content in my quiet thoughts. When I am alone in the house, I rarely have any noise - television or music. I find myself so bombarded by noise all the time, the lack of noise is usually quite a relief.
Tonight on a whim, I downloaded a song I'd heard used in a commercial. I listened to it and did not turn off my iTunes. I have it on random at all times. I never know what I am in the mood to listen to so I find a mix is better. Somedays I'm like "Who knew I wanted to listen to Feist, Metallica, Johnny Cash, Dido, and Stone Sour? All in a row! Perfect."
I've been listening now for a few hours. It's been a nice treat to listen to songs I'd forgotten I liked. However, tomorrow I am going back to silence.
I don't usually listen to music around the house, but I HAVE to have music in the car, especially on extended trips. I appreciate silence in my living space, but the road is already noisy, so I'd rather drown it out with something I like. Plus, I always sing in my car (even if for some random reason, I don't have music on).
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not listening to music, I have a song going through my head. I wish I could listen to music more. As my brother puts it, we are musically greedy.
ReplyDeleteI do not judge your randomness in your music mood. Itunes was playing on random, that sounds very similar to some play lists I've created. It may seem random but there is a natural progression. I equate it to the word association game.
That is so funny as I can not live with out music. I think it drowns out the emotions I have at the end of the day. I find it as an out, its a treat for me after listening to my kids scream all day.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely must have music in the car - drowns out the road noise and the strange clicking from the left rear wheel (which I really should have checked!). At home it's to drown out the husband (or if he's not home any spooky noises).
